Striga spp. are obligate root hemiparasites that constrain cereal production in sub-Saharan Africa. Although purple witchweed [ Striga hermonthica (Delile) Benth.] and Asiatic witchweed [ Striga asiatica (L.) Kuntze] infect all cereal crops, maize ( Zea mays L.) is particularly vulnerable to thei...

Striga hermonthica is a major constraint to maize (Zea mays L.) production in sub-Saharan Africa. The use of secondary traits that have high heritability and genetic correlation with grain yield can improve the precision with which Striga resistant genotypes are identified. Fifteen early cultivar...

Maize (Zea mays L.) hybrids resistant to Striga hermonthica (Del) Benth and tolerant to drought are vital to the sustainability of productivity of the maize-based farming systems of West and Central Africa (WCA). Thirty-six diallel crosses derived from nine early maturing white maize inbreds were...

Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor [L.] Moench) is one of the most important cereal crops grown in the dry savannas and semi-arid regions of West Africa under rain-fed conditions. Although total sorghum production in Nigeria has increased over the years, the average grain yield on farmers' fields has remai...


Kamara, A.Y.Ekeleme, F.Omoigui, L.O.Menkir, A.Chikoye, D.Dugje, I.Y.[Response of exotic sorghum (Sorghum bicolor [L.] Moench) cultivars to planting date under natural infestation of Striga hermonthica (Del) Benth. in the Sudan savanna zone of northeast Nigeria]Response of exotic sorghum (Sorghum bicolor [L.] Moench) cultivars to planting date under natural infestation of Striga hermonthica (Del) Benth. in the Sudan savanna zone of northeast Nigeria

The parasitic weeds, Alectra vogelii Benth., and Striga gesnerioides (Wild.) Vatke, have become major yield-reducing factors in cowpea. Currently, Striga is more prevalent in the Sudan savanna and Sahelian regions and Alectra in the northern Guinea savanna and southern Sudan savanna regions of We...

Vitamin A deficiency, drought, low soil nitrogen (low N) and Striga hermonthica parasitism of maize (Zea mays L.) cause malnutrition and food insecurity in sub-Saharan Africa. The objectives of this study were to determine combining abilities of extra-early provitamin A (PVA) lines, classify them...

The parasltie flowering plants, Striga species, represent the largest biological constraint to cereal and legume crop production in sub-Saharan Africa. Eighty-three percent of Striga worldwide (35 species) occurs in Africa. Among them, Striga hermonthica causes the greatest damage. The IITA's sci...
